1. Tell us about your background and journey?
I come from a non - filmy background, but fortunately my parents believed in skill development decades before our respected Prime Minister introduced Skill India Movement. They recognized what skill was budding in their child and not only encouraged me to pursue it but worked hard with me to discover my platforms.
It has been a beautiful learning journey with my parents by my side, and I am thankful that they prioritized talent over grades in my moulding years.
2. Did you ever think or dream of doing a TV show?
Yes, television evolved at a drastic pace from my birth (in the 90's) into the new millennium. The scope of creativity and subjects knew no bounds! Along with being a movie buff and smitten by Indian Cinema, TV was getting into my daily life with its variety of characters and genres.
I looked forward to being an important part of the nation's daily life one day.
3. How can one approach their career and have the confidence and belief to make it on a TV show?
It starts with receiving great parenting. In one's growing years, if the parents are able to imbibe a sense of courage, righteousness and zest for learning, no path is difficult enough to stop you. The child must feel confident that no matter what, his/ her family is going to stand by his/ her choices.
Once the fear of being judged is gone, the struggle becomes worth the goal. And yes, there is and will be struggle, inevitably, but there is no alternative to hard work.
4. If not this, what would you be doing?
I would be a lawyer, a part of Indian Judicial System, without any doubt.
5. For a complete outsider with no inroads, what advice would you like to give?
Do not count your attempts or failures, try try till you succeed and never, Never try to step ahead by cut short someone's rope. The industry remembers everything.
6. What is your mantra of success?
Never let it get into your head.
7. Which is your favorite book and why?
"Mahabharat", because it's an incomparable series of stories, situations, and infinite characters! It is beyond human, yet Human!
